Abstract
The study of Spanish plural indefinites has been shown to be of great interest to the general theory of indefiniteness and the semantics of Spanish quantification. This article first presents an overview of the relevant empirical data and potential accounts of the semantic properties at stake. Finally, the differential behavior of these indefinites with respect to implicature generation is discussed in the framework of recent debates on this issue.
